Thread Name: Northumbrian Pipes in Ireland .. rare?
Subject: RE: Northumbrian Pipes in Ireland .. rare?
When we visited Packie at Oliver's Bar in Ardara, back in 1990, the young girl who lived there and played fiddle had been given a set of pipes. I think it was a Headworth set and needed serious fettling so I wonder if she ever managed to learn to play them. She would be in her early 30s by now and I think her name was Paula. Her father, Peter, was the Landlord at Oliver's Bar.
